HARMONY CEMETERY
Harmony cemetery, three miles east of Calhoun, adjoins Harmony church lot on the south. It comprises two acres,
and was deeded to J. A. Mims and J. H. Fox for a church burial-ground by W. C. Allen, of Gordon County, on payment
of fifteen dollars, the sale being consummated June 16, 1886.
Easily accessible with the road skirting its western border, and beautifully situated in the shadow of forest trees,
it is an ideal resting place for the members of old Harmony and their families when life's burdens are laid aside.
The oldest grave in the cemetery is that of Mrs. Susan M. Mims (Apr. 26, 1817—March 5, 1890), wife of Rev. J. A.
Mims, for many years pastor of Harmony church, and whose descendants have been useful and honored citizens of this
section for many years.
